Today, dollar for dollar, is the 318 faster than the 340 ???

Wow 201 posts about the lowly 318.
LOL... :D Actually, it's about at todays prices. Would the 318 be a faster motor on a modest budget than the 340 at todays prices IF you do not have either engine. Nothing more, nothing less. It's not about 318 fans and 340 fans. It's about reality and being realistic.
